1 Corinthians 2:14
King James Version
14 But the natural man receiveth not
the things of the Spirit of God:
for they are foolishness unto him:
neither can he know them,
because they are spiritually discerned.
What does Ukraine need?
A leader who will listen to reason.
One who comes from the "trenches".
One who has fought with other soldiers.
Or one who cannot be swayed by others' agenda.
Perhaps, even an everyday person who sees everyday people's plight.
Not a "rock star" who sulks when he doesn't get a fat check.
One who doesn't want to keep getting funds for a war that cannot be won.
One who is practical, realistic, and has common sense.
One who doesn't need "boots on the ground", but needs a "grounded" mind.
One who can think for himself.
One who doesn't care what media thinks.
After all, media only cares what fodder they have for their news.
But a TRUE leader for Ukraine must not allow his men to be fodder for anything, not at any cost.
The war must be stopped.
And stopping it can only come from such a leader.
Sure, Russia attacked first.
But only after decades of being poked, and provoked.
No thanks to NATO who kept going eastward.
Until they reached Ukraine, Russia's western border.
Won't you react, and eventually give a message?
We've written about the war's beginnings here.
Ukraine needs a leader who will not depend on NATO, or the EU.
After all, if you're a peaceful nation, you will not need them.
Most every member of these two groups have problems in their own countries, much as they won't admit it.
They look to an international platform, when they can't even manage their own domestic platform.
How can they commit to "boots on the ground" or "planes flying", when their own leadership, and country, are in shambles?
How can they even think of giving false hopes to Ukraine?
Can they sustain the war forever?
What if their administrations change?
Will the new leaders have the same promises?
Truth be told, the VERY leaders who are promising Ukraine military, or financial help, are the VERY leaders who may, or will be ousted.
Why?
Because they have not heard their own people.
They have not even asked their own people.
NATO and EU are deluded.
They would much rather fight another nation's war, when they can't even fix each their domestic "war".
Their people are clamoring for change.
And the leaders are blind as bats.
Deaf, on purpose, too.
Money and supplies will run out.
Tempers will flare.
Nations will start blaming each other.
Won't that cause more wars in the future?
Hungry, and jobless people, will want their leaders to look into their country's plight.
It won't do you're a "rock star" abroad, when you've failed your own people.
Tend to your own nation first.
WAKE up, world!
Only GOD can give you unlimited "supply".
If He wills it.
But it's not the "supply" the world wants.
Thus, the wars continue.
And it's just warming up.
How can Europe speak for the men in their country?
Would these men care to fight another nation's war?
Don't be so quick to promise your people to others.
Don't be so quick to compromise their lives.
Have you asked them?
They have families, too, you know.
You are not like tiny Israel, with no choice but to defend their nation.
Your people may not believe in your war ideas.
Is this what the world needs?
To continue a three-year war?
For how much longer?
At what cost?
What if you had a leader whose eyes are open, whose mind is clear, who has a realistic view of things?
What if you had a humble president, who only cares for peace.
Peace is not necessarily cowardice.
What if you had a friend who truly cares to help you achieve that peace?
What if it is the ONLY smart thing to do?
Do you have such a leader who doesn't cater to media, or politics?
Do you have such a leader whose heart is in the right place?
Do you have such a leader who is grateful, for every help given, but knows that help may not be forever?
Believe not the promises of war-freak politicians.
They, too, look after themselves.
Every word that comes from their mouth is only towards the next election.
That they win it.
Thing is, they will LOSE it.
Everyday citizens are not war-crazy.
Is the war-freak politician, with big promises, the kind of friend you need?
Are you the kind of friend they need?
Be careful with such people.
You are fodder for their next campaign.
Be careful where you put your allegiances to.
Do not go for popularity.
Go for common sense.
Protect your people.
Protect your borders.
Protect your industries.
It's TIME to REVIEW your country's ORIGINS, too.
What does your country stand for?
Who built your nation?
What were your forefather's stand?
How did they build your nation?
At what cost, freedom?
Are all that worth preserving?
Or do you need to make adjustments?
Do you need new laws, or less laws?
Where is your country going?
Where are you headed?
Do your people feel upbeat?
Or are they demoralized?
Have you given them a picture of hope?
Or have you given them a war that cannot be won?
On 14 January 2020, JESUS brought my attention to something that hovers on the imminent horizon.
The Rapture.
At any given moment, GOD can decide to have His Son meet the faithful up in the clouds.
First, the dead.
Next, those still alive.
Will you be part of the Rapture?
I hope so, for all who will be left will not want to be.
The wars we have now is nothing compared to what the wicked will experience.
GET right with GOD now.
Pray to be born again.
As you think upon these things, your enemies are watching.
They look for a sign of weakness.
They look for chinks in your armor.
But they look for resolution, too.
Perhaps, they, too, are tired of war.
Perhaps, their people need a change, too.
Perhaps, they want to kick out their war-crazy leaders, too.
Perhaps, everyone wants to have a good night's sleep, without constantly hiding, ducking, or fearing a bomb may drop, or someone may get shot, or that their children are in danger.
Is that how you want others to sleep, as you sleep comfortably each night, guarded by your security?
What is the sensible thing to do?
To continue war, or to aspire for peace?
To have a deal for peace, and focus on rebuilding, or continue being destroyed?
It's really a no-brainer.
Before you think you are beyond reproach, remember we are all inglorious before the LORD.
Romans 3:23
King James Version
23 For all have sinned,
and come short of the glory of God;
We must be humble, teachable, open for "correction".
We need to be born again of the SPIRIT.
We need GOD.
We need to follow the TRUE leader -- JESUS.
He was everything, but lived as nothing.
He lived with nothing, but had everything.
Paradoxes are smart.
They make you think.
Only JESUS, and the TRUE born again, have TRUE security.
We have the FATHER.
John 17:25-26
King James Version
25 O righteous Father,
the world hath not known thee:
but I have known thee,
and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26 And I have declared unto them thy name,
and will declare it:
that the love wherewith thou hast loved me
may be in them, and I in them.
Can you be CHRIST-like, too?
Humble, and yet loving, and magnanimous?
Do you have the peace that you can give others?
Are you PEACE?
John 14:27
King James Version
27 Peace I leave with you,
my peace I give unto you:
not as the world giveth, give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.
You cannot go wrong, if GOD is your guide.
Or if you follow JESUS' leadership example.
And if you're born again, taught by SPIRIT.
That's the leader Ukraine needs.
Or any other nation, for that matter.
You need a clear-headed, SPIRIT-filled individual.
You need to be a NEW creature in CHRIST.
2 Corinthians 5:17
King James Version
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ,
he is a new creature:
old things are passed away;
behold, all things are become new.
If you are such a leader, then you will lead Ukraine well.
GOD will be on your side.
Your people will be safe.
And truly secure.
NOTE: There's very powerful truth here.
I prayed to JESUS to please tell me what to write.
What did He want the world to know?
Soon afterwards, this post practically "wrote" itself.
Even the large fonts --
"1 Corinthians 2:14 "
"who will listen to reason"
"if any man be in Christ,"
"all things are become new."
-- were the HOLY SPIRIT's own DESIGN, so I left it as is.
